something different than what we've seen the ad comes as a new poll shows attacking romney on his business record may not be working. by more than two to one, they say romney's background in business including his tenure at bain capital would cause them to make good decisions in dealing with the nation's economic problems over the next four years. clearly the obama campaign sees something in the polling and has them still going after bain. romney met yesterday with small business leaders in california where his campaign unveiled what appears to be a new slogan. we did build it. that is the slogan, a reference to president obama's comment not long ago about the government's role in creating businesses. >>> turning overseas, syrian officials seem to confirm what is long been suspected. the regime does, in fact, have a stockpile of chemical weapons. the spokesman for the foreign ministry says the government would never use that arsenal against its own but would use them in it case of a foreign attack. syria is believed to have o of the largest stockpiles of nerve agents in the middle east. >>
